Páramo clothing does not rely on hazardous fluorocarbon (PFC) treatments for water-repellency.

Working closely with Nikwax®, Páramo have pioneered a treatment process for waterproofs, fleeces and windproofs which enables us to take untreated fabrics and add Nikwax waterproofing, not reliant on fluorocarbons to repel water. Studies show that fluorocarbons of all kinds persist in the environment and are damaging to human health. Nikwax waterproofing solutions are water-based and use no harmful solvents or propellant gases, are not tested on animals, not harmful to humans, and contain no damaging fluorocarbons.
